Experience Counts. RESULTS MATTER.
Marshall is a trusted leader who
GETS THINGS DONE
My ten years of experience on the DeKalb County Board of Education is unmatched by any other candidate and has prepared me for the work of the DeKalb County Commission. This experience includes oversight of the largest governmental entity in DeKalb, leading many of the DeKalb County School District's legislative initiatives, settlement of significant litigation, land-use planning that impacts and benefits the entire county, and resource allocation to ensure equity throughout the county. These experiences are directly relevant to serving as a county commissioner.
I'm ready to get things done for DeKalb!
